Licensing and registering SCO products

Registering products

Once you have installed and licensed your SCO products, register them as soon as possible to deactivate the frequent reminder messages your system software generates. To do so:

Complete the SCO Product Registration Form in the SCO Software Registration booklet provided with your software. You can register up to six SCO products with each form. We encourage you to register all your products at one time.
Remember to:

a.
Copy the unique SCO System ID assigned to your system shown in the License Register window onto the SCO Product Registration Form.
b.
Transfer the License Number label from the Certificate of License Authenticity (also known as a ``COLA'') to the SCO Product Registration Form for each product that you are registering. If you do not have the label, write the License Number printed on the Certificate in one of the six numbered boxes on the SCO Product Registration Form.
c.
Complete the information about your organization and your software supplier.
Obtain your Registration Key in one of the following ways:
- Access the online registration site, by pointing your browser to http://www.sco.com/Products and selecting the Registration icon.
  This site contains links to an online registration form, as well as detailed information about how to register by email, fax, or mail.
- Fax the completed SCO Product Registration Form to an SCO Registration Center. You may send the fax at any time of the day. The SCO Registration Center will send you a Registration Key by fax within 24 hours. If SCO cannot fax the Registration Key, it will be sent by post.
- Mail the SCO Product Registration Form to an SCO Registration Center. The SCO Registration Center will send you a Registration Key by post.

See the Directory of Registration Centers in the SCO Software Registration booklet provided with your software for a detailed list of fax and phone numbers. Toll-free numbers are available from most countries.
NOTE: Not all SCO products require a Registration Key. However, we still recommend that you register them to receive important information about your SCO products.
In the License Manager:

a.
Select the product you wish to register from the list of installed products.
b.
Select License Register
c.
Enter the Registration Key at the prompt, then click on OK.

Once all the SCO products on a system have been registered, registration reminder messages should no longer appear.

NOTE: Your software generates a new SCO System ID each time you do a low-level format of the disk. If you do a low-level reformat, you must contact an SCO Registration Center to obtain a new Registration Key and repeat the registration process.
